[Feature Request] Add a line for prompt message

[idlip]

The default behavior with bemenu-run -p 'Application launcher' shows with text indentation of prompt length which pushes the candidates far.

Maybe there can be an option to set indent (width) for candidates?

or even better option is to implement something like rofi -dmenu -mesg 'Some long description.'
This actually shows an bar which that text which is not selectable.

This can be useful for scripts, adding docs or text for interactive usage.
I would like to use it to on script where i operate on a link, so seeing the link would be helpful.

Right now, i use notify-send to send the description/message part.
Seeing it in bemenu would be better!

Rofi mesg:

I hope you got my point, I can elaborate if you did not get my point.

There is already -s, --no-spacing

My bad, then there is no issue with bemenu at all.

Then it is Just a feature request to add -mesg like from rofi

For now, ig bemenu -s -p would be enough for my use case.

I'm find with whatever decision you make, no worries if there is no requirement for this feature!

Greetings!

Here is a bookmark manager (buku) script for rofi which is also intended for SXMO (an interface offered by postmarketOS) on mobile devices.

dmenu_buku_add.sh.txt

Argument -mesg is essential to that script.

I am aware that most of the screens are narrow. If someone has a solution for me, I am willing to listen.
